Why do postdocs get paid so little?

Is postdoctoral a degree?
A postdoc (or “post-doc,” “postdoctoral,” or “postdoctoral research”) position is a training-focused position available to people who have earned a doctorate degree. Postdoc positions usually act as a stepping-stone between the student experience and the full-time professional experience.
Are postdocs students?
Postdoctoral Scholars are registered as non-matriculated, non-degree seeking students with the University. The classification of scholars as students, among other things, allows deferment of student loans. Scholars are full-time.
Do postdocs pay tuition?
They’re provided with a stipend, and all tuition fees are waived. Now according to Google, the typical PhD stipend is about $20-25k / year. Meanwhile, the typical postdoc is paid $47k / year. That means that a department can hire approximately one postdoc per two PhD students.
Can you be a postdoc forever?
Unfortunately, there is no straight answer. I surveyed multiple research institutions and found that postdocs often didn’t know how this system worked at their institution. Many institutions even have multiple titles and classes of PhD scientists in non-tenured positions.
Does postdoc count as faculty?
There are many government and private labs that hire post-docs to do research as employees. Just to further show the range of possibilities, in the US in mathematics, postdocs are usually considered faculty. (In particular, they are university employees, and not students.)
How much money does a postdoc make?
The average postdoc makes about $48,977 per year. That’s $23.55 per hour! Those in the lower 10%, such as entry-level positions, only make about $40,000 a year. Meanwhile, the top 10% are sitting pretty with an average salary of $59,000.
